Generations at Work 2020

A snapshot of how different generations view and value technology in the workplace.

Do generations work differently?

Earlier this year, Workfront partnered with Jason Dorsey and the Center for Generational Kinetics to study how Millennials and Generation Xers experience work—as well as their attitudes about the technology they use to do their jobs.
We found that even before COVID-19, technology played a major role in knowledge worker productivity and engagement. We also discovered interesting differences—and similarities—between generations and got a glimpse into our shared humanity.

The 2021 State of Work Report is already underway and will be available early next year.

Work is a human endeavor

Millennials, Gen Xers, and work pre-COVID-19

Our research surfaced four themes regarding how different generations value and view technology in the workplace. As we head into the end of a historic year and look forward to a new year—and new research—let’s look back to get perspective.

THEME #1

Millennials are highly invested in workplace technology.

60 %

A majority of Millennials (60%) say they want more input on tech they use at work—versus 44% of Gen Xers.

20 %

Millennials are more likely to apply for jobs if the company has a reputation for great technology. The gap ranged from 9 points in Germany to a 20-point difference in the Netherlands.

10 %

Millennials rely on tech 10% more than Gen Xers to solve workplace challenges.

THEME #2

Next-generation leaders expect more from workplace tech.

34 %

More than a third of managers, directors, and executives have turned down a job because the technology was out of date or hard to use. Millennial leaders are between 6% and 18% more likely than Gen Xers to turn down jobs because of bad tech.

26 %

Over a quarter of Millennial workers say they had already quit a job because workplace technology made their job harder.

84 %
84% of all knowledge workers say their companies are missing opportunities by not moving to modern technology solutions.

Impacting the bottom line.

Dissatisfaction with technology hurts engagement and performance across all generations. According to the study, the top impacts of outdated tech on employees include:

Less productivity

up arrow icon

More stress

Lower capacity to take on more work

THEME #3

The right technology helps all workers do their best work.

83 %

A large majority of workers across all age groups—83%—say having the right tech improves productivity.

72 %

Nearly three-quarters of workers across all generations and countries said technology was important in supporting collaboration.

THEME #4

Work is a human endeavor.

Employees care about each other, and their work.
1

“Caring” ranked first as the most appealing cultural value.

61 %

of Millennial workers say collaborating across many teams is critical to them staying at a job.

81 %

of Gen X workers say being able to do their best work is as important as pay.

Conclusion

Why the State of Work Matters

In our post-pandemic world, knowledge workers continue to navigate unique—and constantly changing—work and personal pressures. Gaining and maintaining a deep understanding of how to empower, not undermine, employees is critical to both productivity and engagement now, and into the future.

To that end, Workfront will focus our 2021 State of Work research on identifying how the pandemic has changed knowledge workers’ perspectives, and identify factors that haven’t changed. Register to receive the report when it’s available early next year.

Methodology

We surveyed 5,798 respondents between the ages of 23 and 55, across Germany, The Netherlands, Sweden, the United Kingdom, and the United States. All participants were employed full-time or part-time, collaborate with others and work on a computer as part of their job, and work at companies with at least 500 employees. The sample was weighted for age, region, gender, and ethnicity, and conducted online between February 13, 2020, and March 6, 2020.
